The Triumphal Arch of Orange: South façade

The town of Orange was founded in 35BC by soldiers of the Second Gallic Legion under Julius Caesar. North of Orange is a Roman Triumphal Arch which, according to a relief of a coat of arms on a foot soldier’s shield, may have been built during the reign of Augustus (27BC-14AD).

I am perusing your images, especially the close-ups of the friezes, while reading about the Arch in Ina Caro’s THE ROAD FROM THE PAST: Traveling through History in France. Thank you for helping it come alive, until I can get there to see it for myself.
